Tevez United, Smith departed

Carlos Tevez for Alan Smith with a few quid in the bank? Sounds fair enough to us really. Alex, you sly dog you. You wily fox. Alex Ferguson will probably outlive us all. Carlos Tevez is the piece of the puzzle that we awaited with baited breath, only for legal mumbo-jumbo to slow the process down. Seems United have got their man though, and now have a team seriously capable of challenging for the Champions League as well as retaining the Premiership.
Poor old ‘Smudge’ though. Comes back from a sickening injury, scores a few cracking goals, looks back to his best, is quoted saying he’s thrilled that he’ll be offered an attacking role for the upcoming season. Then United started buying players left right and centre, and Saha’s injury meant he’d be sticking around, so Smithy was on the way out. Newcastle now have a strikeforce that could see a return to the Keegan days of ‘doesn’t matter how many we concede, we just have to score more’. Expect a few 4-3 thrillers at St.James’s this season. Smith joins Owen, Viduka, Martins and Ameobi. Exciting times for the Geordies.
Meanwhile Ferguson expressed his delight at Tevez’ attitude in training today. Scholes, Nani, Ronaldo, Hargreaves, Anderson and Tevez. Or Carrick. Or Giggs. Or Saha. United have cemented their favourites tag, they’re the team to beat folks……
